Motion and measurement of distances
Smart notes
Measurement - It is a comparison of an unknown quantity with a known fixed quantity.
Every measurement has two parts - _________ and ______________.
For eg., the distance between two cities is 240 km.

Length -
● It is the distance between two fixed points.
● Its S.I. unit is metre (m).
● In earlier times, body units (like handspan, yard, foot, cubit) were used for
measuring length.
● To overcome the confusion and inaccuracy caused due to body units, a more precise
system of units was adopted called the “S.I. system of units” (International System of
units).
Some important S.I. units:
Length - metre (m)
Mass - kilogram (kg)
Time - second (s)
Temperature - Kelvin (K)

Need for Standard units:


Standard units are preferred over body units because they are :
● Accurate and precise
● uniform
● universally accepted

Rules for writing units:


● Units must be written in small letters, unless derived from a scientist’s name.
eg. cm, kg, K_______________________________________________________________
● Units must be written in singular form.
eg. km and not kms, cm and not cms,_________________________________________
● There should be no full stop after the unit, unless it is at the end of the sentence.
eg. The length of my pencil is 10cm.
Sam is 1.5m. tall. - x
Precautions to be taken while measuring length of any object:
1. The scale should be__________________________________________________.
2. If the zero mark of the scale is not clear or is broken, take reading from
____________________________________________________________________.
3. The position of the eye must be exactly in front or above the point where the reading
is to be taken to avoid _____________ error.

Diagram : Fig. 10.9 to be drawn in the notebooks.

Types of motion :
1. Random motion - An object is said to be in random motion when it is moving in any
direction. For eg. -
___________________________________________________________.

2. Rectilinear motion - An object is said to be in rectilinear motion, when its moves


along a straight path. eg.
_________________________________________________________.

3. Circular motion - An object is said to be in circular motion, when it moves in a


circular path. the distance of the object from the center remains the same. For eg.
___________________________________________________________________________
____
.
4. Periodic motion - An object is said to be in periodic motion, when it repeats its
motion after fixed intervals of time. eg. ________________________________________

5. Oscillatory motion - An object is said to be in oscillatory motion, when it shows to


and fro motion. eg.
_______________________________________________________________

6. Vibratory motion - An object is said to be in vibratory motion, when it shows fast


oscillatory motion. eg. ______________________________________________________.

7. Combined motion - An object is said to be in combined motion, when it shows two


or more types of motions simultaneously. eg.
______________________________________
